- Did you know that there are giants in Kansas City? We’ve heard they only come out at night to cool off in the fountains, read their favorite books, and test their chess skills. Don’t believe us? Then why is one of the most beautiful public libraries around adorned with a giant bookshelf and rooftop giant chess board? The Kansas City Public Library is the perfect start to set off your summer creativity and imagination with activities and programs beginning the first weekend of June.
- Can you define the word cria? That was a new one for us too! A cria is a baby or newborn alpaca, something you can learn about with a visit to YaYa’s Alpaca Farm. Nestled 45 miles south of Kansas City, ticketed 90-minute tours are available where you can learn about these amazing animals and the gorgeous fleece they produce, the products that are made, and their history. Mr. and Mrs. YaYa love to “make sweet memories one visitor at a time!”
